It was brought to my attention that I was using some modern day slang, so I went through and did some editing, and I hope it helped. :)

I would like to thankSassy sparrow for pointing it out to me, and if anyone else has any suggestions they would like to add, please tell me, I won't get mad, I welcome any advice you have to give, this is, after all, my first POTC story, so I'm bound to make a few mistakes.

Thank you all for reading, and if you can, please review.


"Lizbeth?"

Elizabeth laughed, she couldn't help herself, seeing the look on his face.

"Hello Jack" She said again "It is so good to see you."

Jack was still shocked at seeing her standing before him, but he tried to cover it up. "What are ya doing here?"

Without answering him, she smiled "Where's the Pearl?"

Jack forrowed his brows slightly, but answered her question "On the other side of the island, how did ya get here?"

He motioned to Jaquelin "I heard you didn' sail anymore."

Elizabeth smiled "Yes I heard you two met, we got passage on a ship, being a King comes in handy sometimes, so thank you for that one."

Jaquelin had yet to speak, she was just watching between her mother and Jack, liking the show.

Jack smirked "Aye, anytime Lizzie, so where ya goin' now?"

Elizabeth shrugged "I don't really know, where do you think we should stay?"

Jack looked at Jaquelin, then back at Elizabeth "Why don't ya come with me, back to the Pearl, ya can stay there fer the night, then figure somethin' else out tamorrow."

Elizabeth smiled, that was what she had hoped he would say.

No matter what he always said, Jack was a good man.

"Thank you Jack, that would be great."

JEJEJEJE

Elizabeth followed Jack across the deck of the Black Pearl, still holding Jaquelins hand, and smiling as she went.

It felt great to be back on the magnificent ship, she hadn't realized until now, just how much she really had missed it.

Jack lead them over to the steps by the helm, and Elizabeth and Jaquelin sat down there, as Jack pulled a crate over and sat upon it.

"So, 'Lizbeth, you didn' answer me question, what are ya doin' here?"

Elizabeth smiled slightly, and looked down at the deck "Well, we came to find you."

Jack raised his brows, and nodded "How did ya find me?"

Elizabeth looked at Jaquelin, and she held up the compass.

Jack smirked, and Elizabeth was afraid he would know it pointed to him, when she held it.

But the thought never crossed Jacks mind, instead he looked at Jaquelin "Aye, knew ya wanted the Pearl"

Elizabeth looked to Jaquelin, and when she saw her daughter open her mouth to respond, she interupted "Jackie, wouldn't you like to see the rest of the ship?"

Jaquelin looked at Elizabeth, a little confused as to why she didn't correct Jack, but smiled anyway "Of course I would."

Jack called Gibbs over, and after a minute of hellos between him and Elizabeth, Gibbs took Jaquelin on a tour of the ship, which left Jack and Elizabeth alone.

They sat in silence for a moment, neither knowing what to say after all this time, and Jack was wondering why she was having the strange effect on him now, it was different than it use to be, there was always something there, but now, he just couldn't tell what was different about it.

They heard the laugher from Jaquelin across the deck, and both turned to see what was going on.

They watched as Jack the monkey ran from her, and Elizabeth laughed as well.

Jack turned back to her, and couldn't help but smile along with her.

"So, that be a mighty nice name yer little one has Elizabeth."

Jack was a little surprised to see some red creep into her cheeks. she looked at him, and smiled "Yes, well I thought you would like it."

She looked into his eyes, and couldn't look away, until she saw his brows forrow slightly.

"Why was ya lookin' for me 'Lizbeth?"

Elizabeth looked out across the deck, before answering him "I heard about Teague."

"So after nine years, ya come lookin' for me, 'cause ya heard me father died?"

Elizabeth looked at him again "That was part of it, but I also got this letter, and...well you can read it.

She pulled the letter from Will out of the pocket of her pants, for their journey she and Jaquelin had both taken to wearing boy clothes, and she handed it to Jack.

Jack took it out of her hand, and slowly unfolded it, and she watched as he read it, and then she watched as his eyes got bigger at the PS Will left.

He folded it back, and handed it to her, before speaking "Lizzie I, well I don't know what to say."

Elizabeth interupted him "Before you do say anything, I know you're looking for your sister, I could help you for awhile, I have three weeks before I have to be home, that's all the leave I could get from the...from Mr. Sanders " She didn't want to tell him she worked in a tavern, if he didn't already know "So is there anyway that we could stay here, and sail with you, for just a few weeks Jack?"

Without saying anything, Jack just laughed, Elizabeth frowned, wondering what she could have said that was so funny "What's so funny?"

"Just that you and the whelp want ta have yer daughter sail with a bunch of pirates, I remember when ya both would have been horrified with that thought."

Elizabeth laughed along with him "You're right Jack, but so much has changed since those days, I'm not the neive little girl I was back then. I know your not all bad, take you, you're not so bad Jack."

Jack chuckled, then he turned serious "Look 'Lizbeth, you can stay if ya really want, but it's not going to be that grand of an adventure luv."

Elizabeth smiled, and before she could stop herself, she was off the step, and throwing her arms around his neck in a hug "Thank you Jack, You've no idea how much this means."

Jack was caught by surprise, by the hug, and before he had a

chance to respond to it, she was already back on the step "We've no empty cabins, but you can stay in mine."

"You don't have to do that Jack."

"I know, but can't be havin' the young one below with the crew now can we?"

Elizabeth smiled again "Thank you."

"S'not a problem 'Lizbeth."

JEJEJEJE

Jaquelin watched her mother and Jack, and smiled when she saw Elizabeth hug him.

Then she watched as they walked to the makeshift table sat up, holding maps, and wondered what they were looking at.

She turned back to Mr. Gibbs, and asked him.

"Those be the charts to findin' Jacks sister, he's marked 'em when he want's ta go."

When she looked back to them, she saw Elizabeth coming torwards her.

"Well Jackie, are you ready to go sailing?"

Jaquelin smiled and ran to Elizabeth "He said we can stay?"

Elizabeth nodded, and Gibbs looked to Jack, with question in his eyes, but Jack wouldn't meet his eyes.

Jaquelin moved past Elizabeth, and ran to Jack, hugging him when she reached him, he hesitated, then gave her a pat on the back.

"Thank you Jack" She said to him, and he smiled at her.

In that one hug, Jack knew this was going to be the longes few weeks of his life.

JEJEJEJE

Later that night, Jack was at the helm, he had taken the night shift, when Gibbs found him.

"Ello Joshamee." Jack said when he saw him "What are ya doin"?

Gibbs came to stand beside Jack "That's what I were going to ask you Jack. Wha' she doing 'ere?"

Jack looked at his friend and first mate "The whelp sent 'er."

"What?"

"She has a letter from Dear William, tellin' 'er to find me, and go on an adventure with their daughter."

"Jaquelin told me he was dead, said 'er mum told 'er that."

Jack nodded "Aye, she told me about it, it was he idea to tell 'er that. Interesting story, that."

"It's odd, is what it is."

Jack looked at him "What?"

Gibbs looked thoughtful "I never reconed Will cared much for ya s'all."

Jack didn't answer, and Gibbs walked away, leaving Jack alone once more, but as he walked away, he thought he heard Jack mutter "Always knew he 'ated me, that's why he sent 'er."

What Jack couldn't figure out, was why it would bother him so, was it just because she always seemed to attracted trouble, or was it something more?

Jack shook his head, no no, there was no way that it's something more, Jack Sparrow did not have feelings for Elizabeth Swann, he couldn't.

Could he?

Gibbs didn't know if that was so or not, but if William did in fact hate him, sending Miss Elizabeth to stay for a few weeks, was a good way to torture poor Jack, because even if he didn't realize it, Jack Sparrow had a mighty soft spot for that girl.


Jack Jack Jack, always in denial. LOL!
